*** This Week Through Your Eyes 2024.09.14 ***

Great piece of art, looking almost like work of nature with these ornaments and flowing lines.

Great shots, as expected. But this is my favorite, well spotted scene.

Good luck with your recovery. These things take time.

A lovely set as usual, the woodland shots are always very nicely done. Splitlers Edge had had a bit of PP, I presumes. I like the treatment.

Yes I actually thought about that as well and tried different crops because I don’t normally put the horizon in the middle.

Bit I didn't want to chop off the top of the clouds or the bottom of the rocks so settled for this crop.

I did exactly that after the MRI scan came back blank (well, not blank, they found a brain and everything, just nothing apparently wrong with it). It turns out my eyes are pretty much excellent (they checked for misalignment too, it's all spot on), particularly for my age, it's just what they're plugged into that seems to have gone a bit wonky.

Oh they've always had some level of PP applied to them. I was going to say, not as much as you might think, but looking back at the edit, there are three elliptical gradients, a big one central lifting the overall exposure and pulling back the highlights, one on the hill lifting the shadows and dropping the saturation a bit to give the effect of fogging it out slightly and one in the foreground bumping up the contrast on the grass to make it stand out a bit.

I quite like the heavy vignetting in this one. What's the heather covered hump on the skyline? Something ancient or just landform?

Great sky here, and great composition too, with the leading lines and the clear sky over the focal point. The weather gods obviously approve the mast 😁

The Lower Flanks of Winter Hill

The textures in the foreground grasses are the main feature of this one for me. Nice.

+1
It is a good shot of an impressive building!

Rusty things are always an attraction for me too.
It looked like it was quite a dull day. Not sure if it would be an improvement or not, but maybe the photos could be made a bit brighter?

Just realised I hadn't replied to this.

That hump is my favourite local bronze age bowl barrow, Round Loaf. The bigger lump behind it is Great Hill.

Here's a tighter shot (from the slightly further back, but with a longer focal length) with people for scale.

The way the light is playing with the grass in the foreground was the main selling point for me with this image too.
